In Ancient Italy; temples were adorned with full-figure architectural terracotta images such as acroteria; statuary groups and high reliefs. These terracottas mostly show complex scenes of gods and heroes; legendary battles and mythical animals; as well as large volutes and palmettes. The fourth edition of the Deliciae Fictiles conferences focused on this specific class of mostly handmade terracotta roof decoration from Etruria and Central Italy; Campania; Magna Graecia and Sicily. The volume contains sixty contributions; publishing new material; new findings and many new reconstructions of this highly rare material from all over Italy from the Archaic period into the Hellenistic times. A vast bibliography and over seven hundred illustrations; many of which in colour; provide reference material for scholars and students of archaeology; ancient architecture and technique; art history and iconography.

RosenbergIf i had access to this book 30yrs ago; I wouldve been better off and wouldve kept on going!Its like taking a lesson with JJ! Anyone who knows about his life; knows that he did not have it so easy. With this bookhe helps shape a new generation of melodic line based soloists who can appreciate where he is coming from musically.This book is also EXCELLENT for learning how to SIGHTREAD which is an important part of professional playing.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. GREAT FOR PRACTICE AND LEARNING JAZZ TECHNIQUESBy Barry A. SapersteinThis book has easy-medium-difficult pieces; the notation is large and easy to read; the pieces are enjoyable to play. Great beginning to intermediate book for the young trombonist (and older; like myself) who enjoys learning jazz techniques.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great for Fretless bassBy Steve CGreat study for fretless bass. Long tones and reading. Good for intonation on bass just as trombone. Recommend to any bassists looking for a good read for fretless that isnt a "fretless workout" type book like Steve Baileys
